Sermon 1-19-03 John 4:1-14
Only allowed to hate someone if you would put it in writing
Letter……
Things that divide us
The Jews and Samaritains
Ku-k state-mu……….Blacks – whites/mc riders-dirty
Find the core of it
There is a huge dispute…. Jesus focused on the living water
Jesus solves it as we encounter him by helping us look at souls
MLK jr…I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
When people meet Jesus……They forget their differences
Don’t like this message, just focus on the Jesus stuff….
All the theology in the world is useless with out the change it makes in our lives
Do we find it in churches??Pastors that I like, want to have for my pastor.
Men women….they deliver the story
Ume south
A time is coming when people will no longer worship here or in this mtn
Every race is welcome here
Every political view is welcome here
Many differences one similarity…God breathed into each of us the breath of life
Welcome here because we all need the living water
Conclusion
When you have been derided because you smoked or did not smoke,
Were a democrat or a republican
Had a tattoo, or did not have one
When you have been derided, mistreated, …..because of some part of you
That is when you know the pain that others feel when you look down on them
Let us not look to the outward things but to the matters of the heart
Let us resolve to be those who look past the trappings of a person and see the soul
And offer that soul the living water
Only allowed to hate someone if you would put it in writing
